George Orwell
Son of an English administrator stationed in India (in the "Opium Department"), Orwell (born Eric Blair) returned to Henley-on-Thames in England with his mother when he was 2. He eventually attended Eton, becoming a somewhat rebellious boy who questioned his family's middle-class values. From 1921 to 1927, he served with the Indian Imperial Police in Burma, a job he loathed, and after he resigned he devoted himself to learning to write, first in England, then in Paris, where he began to publish articles on social issues under the pen name of George Orwell. All his life, Orwell was aware of and outraged by poverty and unemployment and the inequities of the oppressive English class system. Impoverished himself, he worked in the kitchen of a Paris hotel, out of which came his memoir, DOWN AND OUT IN PARIS AND LONDON. He wrote several novels during this period--the first to be published was A CLERGYMAN'S DAUGHTER in 1935--as well as his classic study of Yorkshire coal miners, THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER (1937). (Later in life, Orwell commented, "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism...") Orwell fought with the antifascists in the Spanish Civil War, detailing his experiences in HOMAGE TO CATALONIA (1938), and during World War II he wrote for the BBC. He is credited with coining the expression "cold war." Orwell's scathing political satire, ANIMAL FARM, was published after the war, in 1945. His first wife also died that year, and he and his son moved to the island of Jura off the Scottish coast, where Orwell wrote his most famous and influential novel, 1984, which was published in 1949. He remarried shortly after, but in 1950 he died of the tuberculosis that had long plagued him.
He's George Orwell. The only person who could write this well and this simple.
评分中间讲二战英国如何改变才是主要内容,标题很欺骗人。
评分推荐。有空时候给条目添个目录好了。
评分When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art’. I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing. But I could not do the work of writing a book, or even a long magazine article, if it were not also an aesthetic experience.
评分As one who is barely interested in politics, I'm fully overcome by the greatness of Orwell--his conscience, his insight, his style. Highly recommended: England Your England(Part I of The Lion and the Unicorn), Politics and English Language, Why I Write.
由布莱尔到奥威尔 读奥威尔小说时万般揣测这个灵魂的真实和清白,而本书开篇即是西蒙·黎斯的《奥威尔论》,伟大的灵魂立即被赋予了血肉之躯,使文字背后的奥威尔有了性情。 “正直、诚实、单纯、平等的信念、简朴的生活、简朴的写作、简朴的语言,总而言之,一个人几乎不顾...
评分近年来日渐闻名遐迩的乔治·奥威尔是个英年早逝者,同时既不是多产高产的作家,也不是以长篇著名的作家,但凡读过《1984》《动物农场》这样的妙书之后,对于喜欢在吃过鸡蛋之后探索下蛋鸡的好奇的读者来说,具有以文学为预言能力的乔治·奥威尔的写作及其写作方式自然就有很大...
评分这本书,是关于奥威尔的生平一部分记录。 在读的时候,有种心痛感。以前并不知道,奥威尔的生活是这样的,正如他的书一样,让人有种不舒服感。但是这种不舒服,对于奥威尔这个人,是出于热爱,想不到他曾经有这样的经历,对于《动物庄园》和《1984》那两本书,则是因为揭示真...
评分这里我重点谈谈最后一篇《Why I Write》。 我看的是南京大学出版社《我为什么写作》一书选文的最后一篇。这本寒酸素朴的书因其翻译和图书质量在网上受到一些读者的訾议,但由于学术出版社有意提供了双语对照文本,使得该书的分数得到了挽救。总体来说,还算不错...
评分阅读是一件私事,这是在看这本书过程中,在我头脑里面产生的一个想法。 记得之前听过这么一件事:有一群小孩子寄信给一位作家,问他是否在写某篇文章的时候,要表达的意思和阅读理解所提供的答案一致,作家对答案一头雾水,表示那完全不是自己所想的。 一部作品,不论是小说...
